When Mary was approached by Rika, she first didn't notice her, but when she played her tape, she stared at the burnt woman, trying to hide her disgust while figuring out what she meant. [color=pink]"Huh? I guess you didn't like that? Well too bad, cause Cookie's all mi-"[/color] 
Mary said while attempting another hug, but instead was met with rejection. She blinked in response. [color=pink]"What's the matter, Cookie? Don't you like hugs They're nothing to be afraid of, so why are you so...Sad...Awww..."[/color] 
Mary was entranced by his puppy-dog eyes, and when she recovered he was already gone. When Mary saw who he was with, he bit his thumbnail in an irritated fashion. [color=pink][i]OHH NOOOO, it's Quill Kennedy! She's my idol! She's so trendy and beautiful, and now she's stolen my sweet Cookie away! I don't want to believe it, but...She's now my rival for Cookie's affection![/i][/color]
Mary took a vigilant posture, her eyes filled with determination.
[color=pink][i]Oh, two can play that game. Cookie...Before we're out of here, I'll make you mine, one way or another![/i][/color]

Mondatta answered Aleecia: [color=gray]"I don't know the details, but apparently it is a special alloy with both durability and flexibility. It is also fitted with useful conveniences, like a wristwatch."[/color] When Aleecia moved her hand towards him, the monk responded by slowly touching it with the palm of his metallic gauntlet. Whether she pulled away in fright or not, Mondatta retracted his hand afterwards. [color=gray]"I feel that you are one with the universe, and may have more foresight than the rest of us present." He began to walk away. [color=gray]"I look forward to talking with you another time."[/color]

Mondatta returned back to the primary group, and continued his conversation with Calvin, shaking his gauntlet with his own. [color=gray]"Greetings, mister Ibbott. Yes, it was crafted solely for me to use. Unfortunately, it also means I cannot remove it; among other things, it supports my limbs, and also regulates my biological functions. I can open small hatches on some parts, but it only opens fully when it doesn't detect a heartbeat anymore inside. But I have accepted this, and am glad that I have been given a new chance to teach inner peace."[/color]
Mondatta's eyebrows lifted, signalling joy; the monk seemed glad that he was accepted, despite looking strange. Perhaps with the situation they were in, a monk in a robotic suit was light in weirdness.
